A couple of weeks ago my husband asked me to make peanut butter cookies, so I looked up a new recipe and made some. The recipe I used is from all recipes, and can be found HERE. For a heads up, the batter needs to sit in the refrigerator for an hour before you bake the cookies, so plan accordingly.

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Directions:

1. Cream together butter, peanut butter, and sugars.

5. Put cookie dough in refrigerator for one-hour.

6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.

7. Roll into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets.

8. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.2015-02-22 19.13.392015-02-22 19.12.45

9. Bake cookies in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown (Monitor first batch more closely, since every oven is different, as well as cookie size). I like to make my cookies gooey, so I take them out when the bottom starts to brown.

Hey everyone. I thought I would start blogging about things I bake. We all like delicious treats right? 🙂

Yesterday I decided to make scones for breakfast. I found a recipe from All-recipes, but I deviated from it. Here is what I did for the recipe!

Ingredients:
3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup White Sugar
5 Teaspoons Brown Sugar
5 Teaspoons baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Butter
1 egg, beaten
1 Cup Milk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, brown sugar cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter. Mix the egg, milk, and Vanilla in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture until moistened.

Original Recipe (The directions came from here, but I added my changes to them in this post)

I needed to cook mine a little longer than I did since they weren’t quite golden-brown, but they came out yummy! Have a nice glace of milk with them and you are good to go :).

What do you all think? Should I keep doing this? What would you like to see me bake next?

What do you like to bake?
